Our Wedding

Our Story

Gio and Moriah met through the marching band at Elyria High School. While interest had been growing on both sides, nothing became official until senior year homecoming.

September, 2015

Through the next few years, Gio and Moriah stayed connected through frequent visits while Moriah attended BGSU. They spent the time growing together, maintaining close friendships, and having new experiences around every turn.

2016-2019

During winter break of their final year in college, Gio and Moriah traveled to the Philippines with their family. Near the end of their time, Gio proposed to Moriah in Baguio City—with the ring hidden inside a piece of strawberry cake!

January, 2020

Family has always been a huge part of their lives, so in 2021, Gio and Moriah decided to put down roots in Elyria. Then, March brought a new adventure—their first dog, Howl, joined the family.

March, 2021

They've spent the years since celebrating life, love, and shaping their future together. To be continued for many, many years!

What to Do While You're Here

Food in and around Elyria Wolfe’s Bistro &amp; Pub, Elyria – “Locally owned and family operated,” Wolfe’s is an Elyria favorite with American pub food, strong drinks, and a welcoming vibe. Parking is in both the front and the back lot. Two Bucks, Avon – Just down the road from Homewood Suites on Detroit Road is a perfect place to kick back with a low-key vibe and good food. It's very casual with an outdoor patio, and you seat yourself! Fiesta Jalapeño, North Ridgeville – A favorite of ours with the fastest service, delicious Mexican food, and many margaritas to choose from! Cubano King, Elyria - Craving something quick and flavorful? If you’re going to have fast food, we recommend trying authentic Cuban food here. They’re always helpful when you order. Our favorite is the Pernil Pork and Cuban Rice! Things to Do Crocker Park, Westlake (20 minutes East) - A walkable outdoor shopping and entertainment area with so much to offer. You can casually shop, catch a movie, or enjoy one of the many dining options - it’s a great spot with something for everyone. Lakewood (30 minutes East) - Looking for another option nearby? Lakewood is a lively and welcoming scene that has both an urban and laid-back community feel. It’s great for a day of exploring or a late night out! Cleveland - About 30 minutes East of Elyria, we are right near Cleveland, Ohio. Some sightseeing may include the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Botantical Gardens, and the West Side Market. Otherwise, there are many options for food and attractions depending on your interests. Some smaller and more walkable areas include Tremont &amp; Ohio City neighborhoods with excellent day or nighttime excursions! Cedar Point (45 minutes West) – If you’ve never been to Ohio, one of the big attractions is Cedar Point. If you like roller coasters and spending time in the sun, it’s a fun day out!
